    Vince Carter ahead of T-Mac and Jason Kidd. Get the f*** outta here.

    Cancer will get in on the notoriety of his dunks as gimmick inductee.

    I don't buy McGrady over Kidd.

    Webber should get in for his timeout call.

    I know, I read it. But Vince ahead of T-Mac and Kidd is worse than John Hollinger trying to prove Denver is a top 10 defensive team.

    What really pisses me off is how Allen Iverson is rated so high.. he is by far the most overrated player of this era.

    Uh...you can't argue with a guy who may just hit 30000 points.

    Iverson is actually pretty underrated. He's brought his team to the Finals. And every time I watch him play I'm amazed at how many contested jumpshots he can make.

    With that said, on the basis of his scoring titles and the sheer CRAZY volume of points Iverson has poured in cosistently for a good decade and a bit, he is a lock for HOF anyways.

    Anybody can jack up shots at a career .426FG% and not win nothing.

    If iverson is overrated then what does that make tmac. Tmac shoots .437%, is not reliable because of injuries, has a much lower career scoring average, and has no heart. And the thing tmac supporters bring up in every argument his playoff scoring average, iverson tops.

    Yeah, well, if you wanna poke holes at players. :rolleyes:

    If anyone can do it...then why have so few done it? Admit it. Low FG% or not, Iverson's consistent production over what amounts to a 10 year span of 25+ PPG is pretty impressive. And worthy of a spot as one of the top NBA players of all time.

    Maybe he is a bit overrated. I am pissed off that Hakeem is below him and I think Barkley got a raw deal too...but if it's based on a formula, then eh. Still, Iverson is VERY worthy of the HOF, especially as the HOF's standards aren't so high anyways.

    Iverson is far more worthy than TMac. #s speak for themselves.

    I don't know why KG is at 1.000, but anyone who has won an MVP should be high up there, though not a lock.

    KG's at 1.000, since pretty much everyone who gets 11000 career rebounds is a lock. Add the 20000 career points milestone...there's no contest here.

    You would think the 2nd leading shot blocker of sometime would be a little higher :(

    The formula pretty much ensures that anyone who wins an MVP is a lock.

    For those of you who don't think KG is a lock, keep in mind that Joe Dumars just got inducted. Who would you rather have on your team?

    Hakeem Olajuwon at #17 is a joke. I would have him in the top 5. There is no way this guy should be so far down, the players of the 1985+ era were just different physical specimens. Can’t compare them to the old days, when training/practices did not occur daily.

    Yes Tracy's 44% and Kobe's 45% are better, but hardly good for scorers or MVP candidates/winners.

    Bob Cousy, not that he didn't impact the way the PG spot is played at his time, but nontheless has to be the most overrated player of all time. The fellow shot 37% in the 60s.

    Hakeem def. top 10. Probably 8-9.

    West and Barkley way too low.

    Stockton not on the list at all--not that I'lll shed a tear for him ;)

    For those of you whining about guys like Dirk and AI being so high on the list, note that this is designed to be a predictor of players that make the HOF and there has NEVER been an NBA MVP that hasn't made it to the HOF.

    Also, do you guys not realize that everyone with a score of 1.0000 is tied?
